Background
Japan Satellite Television was a British television channel broadcasting Japanese programming serving viewers in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. It was launched in early 1990 by Marubeni-Iida in association with the Mitsukoshi department store chain. On May 16, 2023, NHK Cosmomedia Europe has announced that it plans to shut down the JSTV service at the end of October 2023. From September, as part of a transitional measure, JSTV1 will relay NHK World Premium on an eight-hour delay and JSTV2, the same but live until the closure of the channels. Following the closure, NHK World Premium will replace JSTV.

Five pairs of red circles from big to small in an arc path begin to slide in, before all of the segments merge altogether with the "v" being formed by a green line shape. The channel's name in gray slides below it.
